Moonmadness

About

Moonmadness is an album released in March 1976 by Camel. It is the final album that featured the classic line-up (Latimer, Barden, Ferguson, Ward) from the band. After the release of The Snow Goose in 1975, the band decided to move back into a more accessible direction by adding vocals to their music again. The album still has an overall theme, just as their previous one did, but doesn't follow a storyline since it's mostly based on the band members themselve. As written in the CD Booklet: Overall, the tracks comprising the album were conceived as a loose concept based on the individual personalities that made up Camel; "Air Born" about Andrew Latimer, "Lunar Sea" about Andy Ward, "Chord Change" about Peter Bardens and "Another Night" about Doug Ferguson. The cover was designed by Field. Track listing 1. "Aristillus" (Latimer) – 1:56 2. "Song Within a Song" (Barden, Latimer) – 7:14 3. "Chord Change" (Barden, Latimer) – 6:44 4.
